Washington, Aug. 21. (WASH.
INGTOJf BUREAU OF THE JOTJR
NADt The house committee on na
turalization and Immigration baa in
source of preparation a bill which
propose to regulate the incoming of
aliens by an extension of the present
passport system. It Is planned, that all
aliens now coming under the exemp
tion clauses of the present laws shall
come with passports from their gov
ernments, vised by consular agents
of the United States, and limited as
to time.
4 It is hoped that this time limitation
wilt end the coming to the United States
of Japanese under the exemption clauses
and cause a literal fulfilment of the so
called "gentlemen's airreement" which
exists between the United States and
Japan. The latter country is under ob
ligation to send no coolies to this coun
try, but ft has been disclosed that many
Japanese arrive with passports as mer
chants, students, and the like, and once
here they remain, send "for picture
fcrldee and produce families, the chil
dren being citizens of the United States
by Tight of birth.
MUST BECOME CITIZENS
, It Is proposed in. the new bill that
'aliens who. under present laws, are
eligible to citizenship may come to the
United States without passports, pro
vided they state in writing their belief
that they intend to reside In the United
States and become citizens thereof. They
muse agree in wriung o register at least
once a year with county, clerks or immi
gration officials. Failure to register is
made a cause for deportation. Failure
to take out first papers at the end of
two years' residence, and before the ex
piration of three years' residence, is also
made a cause for deportation. If the
intending citizen takes out his papers, he
must then remain in the United States
five additional years for final citizen
Ship, but it is proposed to give him lib
eral time 'allowance for his knowledge
of the elements of the American plan of
government, and .for proficiency in the
English 1 language. Failure to acquire
citizenship after a total lapse of eight
years is also made a cause- for deporta
tion. The committee hopes to provide a plan
by which citizens of contiguous terri
tory, Canada and Mexico, may visit the
umiea states oy tne holding of cards

.Twin Falls, Idaho, Aug. SI. A story
which is causing a great deal of . ex
citement in this city was started re
cently that the body of a dead man,
supposedly that , of J. J. Richmond,
who disappeared- several months ago
while temporarily insane, ; was found
and taken s out qf ' the reservoir that
supplies Twin Falls with water. Au
thorities are "Striving to solve the mys
tery and It :lg believed they have
partially succeeded.
. The newspapers ip this and . adjacent
states have been publishing reports of
late that, an effiert was being made to
conceal the body of the dead t man
because the law stipulated that ' each
reservoir must be covered! with ' a
screen so that nothing can. fall Into
it. City authorities have become in-
. -
censedj at the reports, as it la a peni
tentiary offense to conceal the body
of a dead' man.
The offices of the coroner and sher
iff art receiving numerous calls from
peoplep who demand that the officials
confess that they are hiding the body.
In spite lof the fact that newspapers
of thje lty have repeatedly denied
the report, feeling against the city
authorities waa at whita heat, though
the excitement has died down some.
Various people are . alleged to have be
gun the story, but all deny author

MrsJ Richmond, wife of the man who
was supposed to have been found in
the reservoir, said she had heard noth

Iowa Senator Stops
Senate Vote on Oil
Land Leasing Bill
Washington, Aug. 23. (U. P.) Op
position by Senator Kenyon, Iowa, to
day prevented a vote on the oil land
leasing bill in the senate.
"It has been suggested to me that
under this bill the Standard Oil com
pany in a few years would be in pos
sesion of all oil lands," Kenyon declared.
Senator Ashurst, Arizona, and others
took exception to Kenyon's statements.
Although Senator Smoot, hi charge of
the bill, planned to get a vote today,
opposition led him to announce that a
vote would be sought Monday instead.

chants and actors, are exempted from
these tests. These are the classes that
it is proposed to have come with limited
passports. That Is to say. they are to
come as visitors and not as prospective
cltlaena ' If one comes as a prospective
Citizen he must so etate, and agree in
writing to place himself under proba
tion, reporting at stated intervals. This
is all there is to lt Visitors are wel
come. We have room for desirable im
migrants, but must have a guarantee as
to their continued desirability and their
willingness to acquire Americanism ; not
only American citizenship, but all that
the word implies.!'
Members of the Immigration commit
tee say that it is not likely that a bill
suspending immigration for any stated
period of years could pass both house
and senate now. although a year ago
such a bill could have been passed. A
majority of the members of congress
desire that the forthcoming bill carry a
provision for the deportation of those
aliens who withdraw their first papers
in order to avoid service with the armed
forces of the United States.
